Beach day and Night Market
As I was up to date with my blog yesterday, I thought of updating it with yesterday’s events after we came back from the night market – alas the couple Basil Margheritas made me instantly sleep when I got into bed with my iPhone and iPad!
The breakfasts here at the resort are just the same as elsewhere – fresh fruit, yoghurt, fried rice or noodles, pancakes and eggs prepared to order! I stuck to my normal breakfast: fresh fruit, fried rice and salad and ordered an omelette ( which I gave to Gerry as he thought I had ordered it for him!!)
Right after breakfast we went for a walk along the beach – we could see the debris that the stormy sea brought back to the beach!
We saw all sorts of debris on the beach even sandals and wood covered with tiny shells
As we did not have our swimsuits and beach towels with us, I volunteered to walk up to our room to get everything while Gerry organised the deck chairs before they were all taken!
A peaceful morning went by quickly – it was sunny but the waves were too high for me to venture in the sea – listening to my Spotify list, reading my new book and generally being lulled into a gentle sleep by the sound of the waves crashing onto the beach!

This is where we had lunch – when the tables were still safe on the beach – after our lunch the tables were all removed
Our pre lunch drinks – pina colada for Gerry and a mango Lassi for me
More relax time till we got ready to go to the night market. Our van with other guests was leaving the resort at 17.30 to the Thong Sala market close to the pier where we had arrived the day before https://www.welove-kohphangan.com/item/night-market-koh-phangan/.
It was interesting to see that just outside our resort there are quite some shops as well as a village which we will explore tomorrow.
Our van driver dropped us off just at the beginning of the market not far from the pier and he told us to be at the same spot by 9 pm when he would be returning to the resort. We all paid 800 baht per person for the round trip!
At the night market – full of food stalls, Jewellery, clothes and weed of all sorts
The spicy aromas from the different stalls was enough to make us hungry!
The only food we bought from the market stalls was sticky rice and mango with coconut cream – actually that was my treat which I’ve missed since we left Bangkok!

We had walked the whole length of the market and decide walking back on the other side which was mainly filled with clothing stalls. We still had time so we decided to stop at a trendy restaurant and bar called Salt Salt. Seafood restaurant & bar 082 169 7762
This is we’re we enjoyed a couple of cocktails and some deliciously presented sushi’s and it was a delight being served by charming young staff.
Charming young lady serving us and cocktails for us – Gerry is back to G&T and I tried out the Basil Margherita – heavenly!
That’s me studying the menu and a picture of part of our order
Whilst enjoying our nibbles and drink we also had the time to enjoy the market from our table – as it got later more people were buying food!
After such a delicious meal it was time to get back to our meeting point. The driver and the van were there and in time the rest of the passengers arrived too! I slept most of the way back to the resort!!
